Vegetable stir fry rice

Hey All!!

After a great weekend and great holiday with kids it was hard to wake up this morning for school. Nevertheless, I had no choice but to get back into the routine. Not knowing what to cook this evening I decided to make vegetable stir fry rice.

It was a trial for me as I have never made this before, but it turned out pretty easy and was good to taste. Very flavorful. A bit of a South East Asian fusion.

Here is the recipe

Vegetable stir fry rice

Ingredients

1/2 cup   Long grain rice
2 tbsp     Oil (I used canola oil)
1 tsp       Cumin seeds
1 tbsp     Curry powder (I used kitchen king powder)
4 tbsp     Vegetarian stir fry sauce
2 cloves  Garlic (chopped)
Mixed vegetables (carrots, French beans, sweet corn, sliced onion)

1 chilli (just to get that heat)
Salt to taste
1 & 1/4 cup water

Method

1. Heat oil in a pot. Add cumin seeds and cook until light brown.

2. Add garlic, onion and mixed vegetables and a chilli. Cook for about 2 minutes.

3. Add stir fry sauce and curry powder. Stir the vegetables well. Let it cook for about a minute. Then add the rice   and salt to taste.

4. Add water and allow the water to come to a boil, then let the rice to cook on slow heat for about 20-25 minutes.

(Keep checking in to ensure there isn't too much water if and the rice is almost cooked. Avoid overcooking the rice by removing the lid.)

Serve it hot with cucumber raita or yogurt. 

Enjoy!! Happy Cooking !!
